Perhaps because Active Region 1678 has now developed a delta-class magnetic field, which harbors the energy from some strong explosions.NOAA NWS Space Weather Prediction Center estimates a 45% chance of a
M-class and a 15% of an even stronger X-class solar flare over the next 24 hours.
This image was taken in the 211 angstroms wavelength and it highlights the active regions of the outer atmosphere of the Sun. That region is called the corona.
Active regions, solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) appear bright here. The dark areas are called coronal holes and are places where very little radiation is emitted, yet are the main source of solar wind particles.
The temperature observed here is about 2 million K or 3.6 million F
